Link to Change

Who we are

Every child has the right to a childhood free from exploitation and abuse. They deserve to feel safe, nurtured and loved. 

Link to Change is the only voluntary organisation working across Bedfordshire and Luton, who exclusively support this highly vulnerable and at-risk group. Our main aim at Link to Change is to provide vital support at a time of crisis. We work with children and young people (ages 7-26 years) through a trauma-informed and strengthens based approach.  We do this through building engaging and trusting relationships. We show care and respect, allowing them the space they need to rebuild their sense of self and heal.
